RebeliousOne chapter 9 . Jun 20

Loved it! Don't know how I missed this update. Evan is such a scamp. So protective of his mom. It's cute. Did you mention who his father is? I'll have to check to see if it is something you added in or if I just forgot. I like how Selene handled Pearl's condition and Anna. Since she is a grey witch, she obviously won't be so judgmental like the canon witches. Something tells me that she'll clash with them big time. Especially Ester! Will Elijah and Nik have heard about her and her immortality? I can't wait to see her interact with them. Perhaps Kol for a change?

Thank you! I have not mentioned who the father is that is later down the road but I know alot of people are quite curious. Selene is a grey witch she is neutral which lets her pretty much be whoever she wants. Her role as a hero has long been done and now she has her own desires and whims as to how her life will go. Not judgemental at all and everyone will not know how to handle her, they will be thrown for a loop.

Chapter 10

I can't take my eyes off of you

It was a crisp and chill morning, the previous evening left a slight frost on the Blackwood property. Yuletide season always brought warm feelings of love and joy to mind for the past 20 years, some of Selene's best memories with her family. The darker half of the year brought people closer together. She loved the winter time.

The former savior was slowly taking sips of her spiced chai tea. With ingredients such as cardamom, cinnamon, milk, and honey to name a few.

Radiant green eyes closed in contentment as their owner enjoyed the warmth flowing down from her throat all the way to her toes.

The eldest witch in the house had a few moments to herself, as all current residents were still asleep. She had tried to sleep longer but had trouble staying asleep in the end.

The dark haired witch had to sneak out of her warm bed to make a cuppa, if she didn't throw a sleeping spell on Evan she knew he would have woken up considering he was wrapped around her like a boa constrictor having sometime during the night crawled into her bed, she vaguely remembered pulling him closer to her body as they succumbed to Morpheus.

Now that she was more awake, the witch thought back on last night. With all the excitement going on she did not have much time to contemplate and fully process the previous evening's events. Or should she say this morning?

To put it simply Selene had discovered that her friend was a different species of vampire. Compared to her old friend Sanguini, the Roman vampire having confirmed it a couple days ago. She was very excited at the news and decided that being friends with Anna would be much easier with her being of magical origin.

The Blackwood witch was a tad delirious from lack of sleep the previous evening. Helping Anna care for her mother had been slightly draining but worth it. A Pepper-Up potion she knew as a faithful companion throughout the years should do the trick.

Having just finished making breakfast, she felt someone's presence at the kitchen table. Turning around she was met with a freshly cleaned vampire in the night dress that Selene had left the woman to wear as well as a warm robe. Without the cobwebs, dirt, grime, and desiccation, Selene admired the beauty of the Asian female vampire in front of her.

The vampire if she were to guess was in her late 20's early 30's but the woman's skin was as flawless as her own when it came to signs of aging. Dark hair and dark eyes the color of obsidian compared to her daughter's brown colored eyes and beautiful porcelain skin.

"Good morning." Selene smiled at her in greeting, calm as can be.

She had nothing to fear in her own home after all, but Selene did not think it would be necessary as the aura the vampire gave off was similar to Anna's which boded well in her opinion.

Though the woman gave nothing away on the surface she gave off feelings of wariness, was defensive, with hints of gratitude and curiosity thrown into the mix.

Adjusting her robe she tightened the belt keeping it together around her slim waist. Feeling like tea would be a good start, she offered."Would you like some tea?"

There was a moment's pause after her question before she received a nod in acquittance.

Taking a seat at her table, Selene smoothly reached for a teacup. Setting it down next to the teapot the witch gently lifted the warm vessel and with a twist of her wrist expertly poured it into the cup.

The witch watched the steam rise lazily from the warming drink. Ever so slowly she moved the cup to Pearl's side of the table for easy reach before once again taking more tea from her own cup.

Selene watched over the rim of her teacup as the female vampire picked up the cup with both hands and cradled it as she took a small sip of tea. The immortal witch observed as the dark eyes who have never left her figure close involuntarily with what she knew to be bliss.

It had been 146 years since the woman has had anything to eat or drink. Selene knew she would find anything wonderful at this point.

Nothing like a cup of tea to start the day.

Dark eyes slowly opened, not saying a word as she set her cup down. When Pearl had fully woken up this morning she was completely disoriented.

Being in agonizing pain for so long then nothing, no awareness, light, blood, the feeling of despair and loneliness was heartbreaking and not knowing whether or not her daughter was alive and well. How long has she been desiccated? Pearl had nothing but her tortured thoughts and the agonizing groans of pain from her fellow tomb vampires. They were the only thing to keep her company as they all withered away to nothing but husks, shells of their former selves.

But in the end her Annabelle saved her and they were together once more. The ancient vampire silently vowed that she would never allow anything to separate them ever again.

Pearl rejoiced, she was alive!

Pearl looked over her daughter's 'friend', she appeared human. The elder female vampire remembered some of her daughter's brief explanation before the 500 year old vampire fell asleep once more. It would appear that gratitude was in order and never let it be said that she grew up in the rice paddies like a commoner.

"I would like to express my gratitude towards your hospitality Ms. Blackwood." Her voice was soft and measured, carrying a sliver of her eastern accent and decorum drilled into her from an early age.

Luminescent green met obsidian once again and Pearl received a small smile from the woman.

"Anything for your daughter," was the human's reply.

Pearl placed her cup gently down on the table her eyes narrowed at the comment. Feelings of possession for her daughter swelling to the forefront. No one would have the capacity for wanting to give her daughter the world except her. She wanted answers and looked at her companion in question her attention solely focused on the other woman.

"Anna has told me that you have become friends. What do you want from her? What do you gain from assisting us?"

Selene kept her posture open towards Pearl, she knew what the questions were about it was only reasonable of her to do so.

Knowing that in order for their friendship to remain intact she would be truthful. Selene was also quite excited to find other supernatural beings, she always did get along well with magicals of other species.

"I want nothing but my friend's happiness. I did not know what Anna was until just recently and even then I was quite surprised to find her on my doorstep asking for help. Which I gladly gave. She has not spoken of anything but you Pearl. I'm happy to provide shelter and you both have proved to be non-hostile individuals so far."

Hearing slight movement from upstairs, Selene looked up at the ceiling of her kitchen and after having felt the sleeping spell wearing off she came to the conclusion that her sweet Evander was slowly waking up.

Focusing on the protective vampire mother in her kitchen once more, her tone took on a similar quality of possession and protection instead of calmness, from one mother to another.

"As you can tell by the other heartbeat upstairs I have someone to look after other than myself. He is my most precious person and I would not let anyone that proves to be a danger to him around him. So you can trust in the fact that we have the same purpose in life."

Pearl thought about it for a little while longer before nodding her head in agreement, a tentative truce in hand. As Pearl was about to continue their discussion it was halted as a new but familiar voice broke the din.

"Mama, what are you doing out of bed? You should be resting."

Both women looked over towards the doorway to find the topic in question was in their presence.

She looked a mess, seemed tired staying up all hours of the night. Pearl knew the lack of sleep was due to her daughter wanting to help her gain strength from her imprisonment.

Black eyes smiled warmly happy to see her daughter before her soft voice calmly answered. "Anna, I'm fine. The potion your friend gave me has worked miracles. But I am quite famished."

Brown eyes though tired smiled back just as happy as her mother. "Let me whip something up for you."

Hearing a clearing of the throat both vampires turned their attention back to at the mystery woman that the house belonged to. Both were quite surprised to find a large selection of food to eat suddenly appear before their eyes.

"Now, who's hungry?" The immortal's eyes sparkled with mischief, being a second generation marauder had a tendency to perk up on occasion.

Chuckling she served herself some waffles, a dollop of freshly whipped cream she made this morning and a variety of colorful berries.

Delicately she picked up her fork and knife and cut up her meal into smaller pieces before placing a piece of her fluffy Belgian waffles in her mouth. Looking up she caught the mother and daughter staring at her then the food before their eyes traveled back to her.

"Do I have food on my face?" Picking up her napkin she gently dabbed it around her mouth before checking the napkin. Finding nothing there, she placed it back on her lap and began eating her breakfast once again.

After a couple more bites of her meal, she took a sip of her delicious tea.

"You know, you should eat lest all this food go to waste."

Anna finally spoke up from her stupor. "Selene where did this food come from?"

Selene looked at them from over the rim of her teacup, her smile hidden from view. "I made it this morning just before you both came down remember? Fresh waffles and fruit. Bacon and eggs? Speaking of Evan should be down soon enough if nothing else the smell of bacon tends to rouse him from sleep." Chuckling the immortal witch set her cup down once again to continue eating.

"Selene..."

Selene looked up from her meal a cheery smile on her face. "Yes, Anna?"

The younger female vampire looked at her mother then back to her friend. The dots were connecting.

"You're a witch aren't you?"

Selene simply took another sip of tea before answering, amusement shining through.

"Indeed, you see it took me a little while to figure everything out for I have never met one of your kind before. But I must confess I have a little secret of my own. For you see I am a witch."

Anna just stared at her friend a moment letting the information sink in.

It took her completely by surprise considering they have been friends for almost two months. While that was not very long, they just clicked right off the bat being quite drawn to each other.

But going over every interaction she could not think of a single moment where she would be able to imagine that her friend was a witch. She just seemed so normal that it completely took her by surprise.

There was not a single witch she has run into that has not required a price for their assistance. Even Emily as helpful as she was was very prejudiced against their kind.

The woman helped them, even if she did not have to, expecting nothing in return but Anna's friendship.

Another thought struck her. "Is Evan one a well?"

He was too young the vampire thought, witches tended to start their craft once they reached their teens from what she remembered.

"The correct word would be Wizard, but yes. Now what happened last night? Clearly you have had an interesting evening."

So that's the end of this chapter, so sorry for being gone I got into Peaky Blinders and it is Amazing! I'm actually working on something for that. Please tell me what you guys think I know there are a lot of likes and favorites but I do want to hear from you guys. It feeds the inner beast lol.

I hope I did Pearl justice and the cat is out of the bag lol I hope you found it amusing.

Until next time,

Beau
